Coni Metaxa Testifies in Manos Papagiannē’s Trial: Shocking Details Revealed

The courtroom drama unfolded once again as Coni Metaxa took the stand in the trial of actor Manos Papagiannē, accused of assaulting fellow actress Sophia Pavlidi back in 2018 at Hytirio Theater. The court heard a vivid account from Metaxa, who witnessed the shocking incident firsthand while both were in the same dressing room area. According to her testimony, Papagiannē became enraged after Pavlidi failed to deliver an ad-lib he had requested during the performance. Following the show, Papagiannē confronted Pavlidi, slammed her door, grabbed her by the neck, and violently threw her near a sink, risking severe head injury. Despite her fear, Metaxa intervened, shouting for him to stop. She further recounted how Papagiannē refused to apologize to Pavlidi during a subsequent meeting, instead admitting only to slamming the door but falsely accusing Pavlidi of provoking him. The emotional testimony left the courtroom stunned, with Metaxa emphasizing that she would not accept Papagiannē’s apology unless it was directed toward Pavlidi. Papagiannē was eventually found guilty and sentenced to four months in prison, suspended.
